He's Extra Crispy!

Coco saves a run for the Sox!

Coco Crisp sprinted into the gap, soared through the air and slammed to the ground - the ball and Boston's winning streak safely in his grasp. This capped off a great night for our new centerfielder, which included a perfect bunt followed by a cool steal.

"I didn't think I was going to get there," Crisp said. "I took a leap of faith and, because I was running so fast, I was able to hang in the air."

We're really liking the newbies, including quiet shortstop Alex Gonzalez, a great defense man who also came up with two homers in back-to-back games.

You know who's also hot right now ... the Seattle Mariners are just two games behind Oakland!
